HarnessExpert GbR accelerates 3D display with HOOPS® from Tech Soft 3D

Wire Harness Design software now boasts greater visual capabilities and faster 3D rendering.

HarnessExpert, GbR and Tech Soft 3D (TS3D) announced today that HarnessExpert, a modern 3D harness design tool and the only stand-alone solution in the world for efficient design and documentation of wire harnesses and nailboards, utilized the HOOPS graphics framework from TS3D, the leading provider of core graphics components to the engineering software industry, to quickly enhance its 3D capabilities.

“HarnessExpert is a truly unique design solution that enables extremely complex multi-branched harnesses to be quickly and easily created, routed and manipulated in 3D and flattened in a 2D nailboard. We chose HOOPS to be the underlying engine of HarnessExpert because HOOPS allowed us to offer superior 3D capabilities, faster rendering and ensured that our software was compatible with almost every graphics card being used in the workplace. HOOPS accelerated our software performance and provided our customers with extensive 3D benefits,” Martin Laun, Chief Developer of HarnessExpert, GbR.

“When a product like HarnessExpert decides to implement HOOPS, it’s a gratifying win-win-win situation. HarnessExpert users get a more powerful & robust 3D product, the HarnessExpert R&D team can increase their efficiency and productivity and we at Tech Soft get to see another successful application built with HOOPS”, said Ron Fritz, CEO of Tech Soft 3D.

HOOPS is a high-performance graphics framework used within applications from engineering software companies such as Autodesk, SolidWorks, PTC, MSC.Software, ANSYS/Fluent, COADE, Bentley, Siemens PLM Solutions, Mitutoyo, IronCAD and 200+ others. By leveraging the robust set of HOOPS libraries, software teams are able to develop high-performance, visually rich applications and get those applications to market quickly and cost effectively.

Tech Soft 3D (TS3D) provides premier component technologies and related services that enable software developers to rapidly create world-class technical software. The company’s flagship HOOPS technology has been incorporated into nearly 200 commercial software applications. The company maintains corporate headquarters in Berkeley, California .
